Abstract: A multilayer card has (i) an opaque polyester film substrate containing 0.2 to 30% by weight, relative to the total weight of the substrate, of at least one copolyesterether, (ii) a first ink-receptive layer on at least one surface of the substrate, (iii) a cover layer on the surface of the ink-receptive layer and/or surface of the substrate and (iv) a second ink-receptive heat-sealable layer comprising a polyester resin on a second surface of the substrate. The presence of the copolyesterether in the substrate reduces the tendency of the card to delaminate in use. Suitable for use, inter alia, in identification, magnetic, credit, pre-paid and smart cards.

Abstract: A polymeric film having a translucent first layer of polymeric material, a transparent second layer of polymeric material on at least one surface of the first layer, and an adherent layer comprising an acrylic resin on the surface of the second layer remote from the first layer is disclosed. Both the first and second layers are preferably formed of biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate. The first layer contains an inorganic filler opacifying agent. The polymeric film is particularly suitable for use as an upper sheet in a re-usable label employing the "magic slate" principle.

Abstract: A composite sheet having a thickness in the range from 30 to 400 .mu.m, has an opaque crystalline polyester first layer having a deformation index of greater than or equal to 2.5%, and a transparent crystalline polyester second layer. The first layer preferably contains titanium dioxide. The composite sheet is suitable for use as a replacement for aluminium foil, being particularly useful as a lid for a container.
